SMW Ka BDC 17.30-22.30 GHz 3-8 Band

Ka-Band Multiband Block Downconverter (BDC)

Flexible Multi-Sub-Band Reception for Ka-Band Systems

The Ka-Band Multiband BDC is the ideal solution when reception across multiple Ka-band sub-bands is required. Capable of switching between 3 to 8 sub-bands within the 17.30 to 22.30 GHz frequency range, it is designed to integrate seamlessly with external LNAs or systems where an LNA is already present.

For simplified setup and system oversight, optional Alarm and Monitoring & Control (M&C) is available. With SMW’s M&C interface, multiple units can be cascaded via a Modbus RTU RS485 network, enabling centralized monitoring and control across your system.
